Elections – Contributions – LinkedIn

Where a legislative agent has made inquiries regarding restrictions to legislative or executive agents who use LinkedIn online discussion groups to solicit contributions for a candidate, (1) these agents may use LinkedIn discussion groups to solicit contributions, but may not receive contributions over $156, nor provide the candidate written correspondence stating that the agent was responsible, and (2) persons who are not "intermediaries or conduits" may use LinkedIn or similar sites to solicit contributions to candidates, but non-elected public employees may not solicit or receive contributions.
